I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday with your loved ones and that you survived the 2k10BLIZZZZZZZZZARD!

Here's to 2011! Cheers!

What are your plans for NYE? I'll be with the boyfriend, maybe go out for a drink with him before champaign time and a nice night in.

Whatever you decide to do...be safe and if you're drinking, don't drive.

It's Official

Got my 4.0.

Business Law is an A
American Sign Language 1 is an A

Next semester:

Session 1:
Principles of Management
American Sign Language 2

Session 2:
Evolution of Mass Media - Online

I'm a little nervous about doing my first online class, but it will be a good experience. I'm sure of it!

One down, one to go

I officially got my A in ASL. Just waiting on the Business Law grade, but I'm extremely optimistic. Happy times ahead!

The End of the Fall 2010 Semester

So here's how it's gone.

American Sign Language 1 - Hoping for the A. My final was part written and then two PPT presentations where I was signing in front of the class.

I must say I loved this class. It was interactive and I had some great people in my class and an amazing teacher in Carole Lazorisak. She is such an encouraging and engaging teacher, the only way to do bad is to just not try. There was one person in the class who did nothing at all and still came, but it may be that she was just really high all the time and didn't know work was supposed to be done.

Business Law - Pretty much just waiting for the A to be put on the transcript. The final is on the 20th, but it's just about a done deal. All I need is a 85 or better and I have the A.

This class was fun, but a little frustrating. I was the only one reading the chapters before class and the only one participating until the last month where the teacher asked me not to participate. Never had that request before, but I honored it because she wanted the other students to try. Of the two tests we had in the class, the lowest grade I got was 100. Seems like it's a slam dunk, so I'm hoping for the 4.0 this term.

Next semester, I have Principles of Management and American Sign Language 2. Carole said ASL 2 is easier than ASL 1, so it should be a good class. I trust her, so if she says it is easy, I believe it. She told me to keep participating and practicing and having a good time with the language and I'll become fluent in it. I need to start meeting Deaf friends to really feel comfortable with it. I'm hoping for the best.

I'll post my grades when I actually get them, but I am fully expecting the 4.0 this term and that will bring my GPA to a 3.925. Still can't get the 4.0 at graduation without honors courses, but they're all scheduled for when I'm working! UGH!
